You could have gotten 94.5% which doesn't equate to over 95% aka seeing red, but is rounded up when the stats are displayed.

gutted

Ok I didn't know that, it should display 94% and not round then !

I, erm, I have to lol at that.. *proceeds to lol*

I'm not very good at getting butter ninja or seeing red as filling up a board of blues is sometimes a better idea than grabbing a rogue red or yellow block on eraser. Call me wrong, but I do believe I get pretty good scores.

Indeed, for displaying scores it should rather use floor() not round(). I'm sure this was mentioned before quite a while back with BN and SR being missed despite the stats say otherwise.

Now I see why the Seeing Red/Butter Ninja bonus is not recognized even if the extended stats show 95% of reds or yellows collected. The extended stats should not round to the next percentage in order to prevent misleading info. It really should use the floor so that we are not misled.

4.5 rounds to 5, but 4.5 is not equal or greater than 5. Even though out of context this isn't confusing, the way the game deals with percentages both in un-rounded (ie float) and rounded (ie int) form does create some confusion.

Although using a round down method, collecting one block would result in the collected percentage showing as 0, which might cause some confusion in it's own.

[Passerby]

maybe just code a little function that checks for SR or BN and makes sure if SR or BN wasn't got it round down if it normally would have rounded up to 95

[blue_h3x]

Something like this then


if ($percentage >= 94)
{
   $display=floor($percentage);
}else{
   $display=round($percentage);
}

yep

I think it was mentioned even when it still was in beta testing.

IMO any kind of rounding is silly. It should just either trim decimal or show two decimal digits after the period.

Trimming the decimals would be the same as using floor().

As for rounding being silly:
If you collected 105 out of 121 blocks; you would have collected 86.7768595%.

Displaying this would be silly and that's why there's rounding.

Displaying to two decimal places would be over kill, a single decimal place would be all that's necessary if showing any at all.
Although 84.995 would still round to 85, even at 2d.p. which wouldn't give SR. Although the likely hood of getting that would be slim due to the very large number of blocks you would need to have on a track.
